I want to say I am glad I found this site I am hoping I will meet some people that understand what this monster has done to all of us , and will support me and let me support them.
I am 43 years old I have full body RSD I was a nurse for over 25 years, a wheel chair lift on a van came done on my foot ( the weight of the van and lift was on my right foot) I was in a parking lot and they were redoing their parking lot thank goodness. It took 5 big guys to lift the van off my foot so they could pull me out. I was sent to Indy to a big hospital and was seen by a specialist who decided that immobilizing my right leg for 6 months was the right thing to do and to give me large doses of medication to keep me out of pain. They said I would never walk again, I was in a chair for 2 years. I worked hard and got to where I could walk again I went through many Drs. and treatments. spinal blocks and spinal cord stimulator large doses of pain medications, therapy. I am no longer able to work, I dont sleep and the pain you cant describe, I fell and my stimulator has to be taken out and replaced but I also have a bad heart so they are having problems. I cant find a dr that understands and knows what they are doing that can really help me....
